What counts as HIIT? I’ve been curious about that for some time.
Has anyone tried Biotest Surge Recovery? Looking for something as a post workout recovery drink, just wanted to see if this stuff is being overhyped or if there is something better.
just make a protein shake with some dextrose or glucose in it. same shit.
then eat a real meal.
I haven’t tried it. People who do drink it usually have half during a lifting session and the rest afterward lifting.
If you wanna be very precise about your recovery drink, websites like trueprotein.com have separate components you can order and tailor your own PW shake.
40g protein, 60g (carb) waxy maize (or dextrose), 10g bcaa, 5g creatine…be on with your day.
I’m hitting the gym again after a 3week Xmas break and I’m loving it. Although my weights went down a bit I feel great and totally focused. I think it might be some of the supplements I’m taking or just eating more calories.
I’m taking superpump250, beta-alanine, and creatine. Superpump tastes like candy and wakes me the hell up, its awesome. I think the creatine and beta-alanine contribute to muscle endurance: I’m able to get more reps and not feel muscle fatigue–although I feel “cardio” fatigue, if that makes any sense.
Just wanted to recommend these supps, I think they work pretty well, as long as you take them properly and your diet is in check.
never tried superpump but always heard good things, what flavor did you get?
blue raspberry ice
if you try some, make sure to check the magnesium content.
100mg = new and good formula
300mg = old formula - basically people called it SuperDump…because of the farting/pooping effects
How important is it to work out at the same time everyday?
I came to the conclusion that I just prefer to do EVERYTHING at night. Which includes going out with buddies, which interferes with workout times.
Comments?
Also, I’m on Body Fortress “Super Advantage Whey Protein.” Any good, any bad? (Basically, it’s the one being sold at the local store.)
Uh work out a bit earlier then hang out?
your body is at its strongest a couple hours after waking up, although its still better to workout at night then to not work out at all.
its not so much important to workout at the same time, just make sure you’re recovered from your last workout and aren’t too tired.
IMO protein is protein. if its cheap, low in calories, tastes good then you’re good to go.
Pretty much.
What protein do you, yourself, use, tech master?
I use Isopure.
Either French Vanilla or Creamy Vanilla.
50 grams of protein, 1 gram of fat, 210 calories.
It’s pretty smooth.
With a banana and a cup of skim, it’s a pretty damned good shake.
Good points, good points.
It probably WOULD be easier to work out whenever than it would to keep a schedule.
Im approaching 190 finally!!! At 187 right now.
Muscle Milk is the truth.
Anyone try Eric Cressey’s Maximum Performance program?
I’m pretty much done with the book, but damn 4 days a week at the gym is a lot of time during the school semester.
I use ON 100% whey. Either extreme milk chocolate or chocolate mint.
I love the taste of Syntrax Nectar Lattes Cappuccino and plus its only 90 calories. Its a bit more expensive than ON though.
I’m actually trying to lose some fat, so I take mine with water. Sometimes before bedtime i use milk.
When I was trying to GAIN weight, I did DIY weight gainer:
1 scoop choc protein, 1 banana, spoon of peanut butter, 6-8 oz of milk. TASTES FUCKING DELICIOUS and is probably 60+ grams of protein.
hey everyone,
i’m starting to lift again because i’ve had enough with my upper body strength. i’m curious is there a place online where I can find workouts that will help me build muscle? I’d like to have MWF for weights and T/TH for cardio. I am having a terrible time finding internet sites that layout workouts.
Thanks,
Adam
It’s all relative to what your goal(s) is/are, but this link and this one might be good if you want something to fit specifically to your needs.
Then there’s a program offered by stronglifts.com.
User MagnusMadness wrote a few programs in this thread (then revised them a bit), but I can’t seem to find the exact post.
I go water if the protein does not=meal in itself, too.
did some shoulders and legs.
DB pressed 70s like they were nothing.
Upping calories/protein really makes a big impact.
